  • Title: the meaning of words in the motor cortex.
  • Supervisor : LEBON Florent
  • Co-supervisor : MADDEN-LOMBARDI Carol
  • Research Topic: The present project brings together the fields of embodied language comprehension and neuroscience of motor control to better understand how the motor system is activated through language processing. Applying techniques from the study of motor control, such as TMS, we will be able to precisely measure the temporal dynamics of activation in the motor cortex while reading action words and sentences. The project consists of three axes, 1 and 2 addressing fundamental aspects of motor cortex implication during language, and 3 proposing possible applications for these findings.
